NATO Nazis

Nazis were members of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP), who assumed power in Germany in 1933 and effectively ended on May 7, 1945. So, pleased to announce to all those that hadn't heard the Nazis are no more.

It's a simple title chosen on the fly not a treatise. I didn't ponder unduly at its choosing. It works for me. Blame it on Jerry Seinfeld. Instead of 'soup' you got 'nato'.

"The former commander of the US Army in Europe has issued a sobering assessment of the deteriorating state of US-Chinese relations, predicting that it's very likely the two nations will be at war in fifteen years. Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum on Wednesday, Retired Lt Gen Ben Hodges said that the US will have to shift its military to the Pacific 'to deal with the Chinese threat' - requiring Europe to take a more active role in its own defenses..."

"...NATO is always on the lookout for excuses to indulge in military action (such as its nine-month aerial blitz that destroyed Libya [led by Lt.Gen. Charles Bouchard RCAF]), and its Arctic-focused Trident Juncture is yet another confrontational military fandango designed to ramp up tensions.

The US-NATO military alliance is preparing for war in the arctic, and is deliberately provoking Russia by conducting massive hi-tech maneuvers ever-closer to its borders. But the Pentagon and its sub-office in Brussels had better be careful."

But nearly three decades after the Lenin was taken out of service to be turned into a visitor attraction, Russia is again on the march in the Arctic and building new nuclear icebreakers.

It is part of a push to firm Moscow's hand in the High North as it vies for dominance with traditional rivals Canada, the United States, and Norway as well as newcomer China.

Interviews with officials and military analysts and reviews of government documents show Russia’s build-up is the biggest since the 1991 Soviet fall and will, in some areas, give Moscow more military capabilities than the Soviet Union once had.

Here's a thought. What if Russia invaded the northern regions of North America, won, then supported the Indiginous peoples of Alaska North west territories, Nunavit and Greenland to form completely independent governments?

Or is it more important to keep these regions Danish, US and Canadian?

Is there a population large enough to support a government? Would the Russians let one be independent any more than Canada and the US would.

I think not on both counts. Still it is a nice fantasy to imagine. I think the fantasy gets popped once you consider that the most powerful piece could be Republican-voting Alaska... the rest might prefer to stay Danish or Canadian than be effectively colonized by Alaska.

For me it got popped as soon as I had to imagine Russia going to war with three countries, winning, then magnanimously handing the Arctic over to Indigenous people with a hearty "You're welcome!!" like a fireman rescuing an old lady's cat from a tree.

Sure but even if you suspend belief about the means, the result is also not desireable. Canada's North would rather be attached to Canada -- as shitty is it is to them -- than to Alaska. Of this I am sure. Even with a fantasy means ther eis no desire for that.

If I want to fantasize, I would rather indulge in Northern Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland - even the most northern Russians being connected than a relationship with what lives in Alaska.

"Western leaders argue that the growth of NATO along Russia's border together with the militarization of Eastern Europe is necessary for preserving peace with Moscow. Nothing could be further from the truth..."

"Senator John McCain was an American Hero for the World. It was our honor to welcome him here to Halifax International Security Forum every year. We will miss him very much. This year, our honor is to welcome Mrs Cindy McCain, who has been with us here before, and who tomorrow morning will be awarding the inaugural John McCain Prize for Leadership in Public Service. Mrs McCain, welcome.

Ministers, Members of Parliament, Members of the Congressional Delegation, Distinguished Officers, Ladies and Gentlemen, colleagues and friends: Welcome to Halifax. In a moment, you will hear from the Hon Harjit Sajjan, Canada's Minister of National Defence and your host for the weekend..."

Pity there appears to be no Canadian peace movement worthy of the name and times. Pity so many, including 'progressives' subscribe to the ideas of warmongers like these, rather than fighting with every fibre of their being to shut them down. Let the warmongering and paranoia begin...

"Canada's NATO contributions are directly linked to the current diseconomy plaguing this country. Last year alone, Canada spent $32 billion on military spending according to Public Accounts Canada, largely to bolster US imperialism abroad, to the detriment to humanity. US-led NATO is an aggressive military alliance..."

But just keep sucking up all that anti-Russia, anti-China war propaganda that is relentlessly spewed from US-based msm chumps and it'll all seem worth it.

"The New Cold War is escalating, fueled by Washington's bid to isolate or strangle Russia. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ranks Russia's military budget as the fourth greatest in the world, after those of the US, China, and Saudi Arabia, and one-tenth the size of the US military budget. Are we being conned by the Pentagon and the military industrial complex? Hell yes and that's among the greatest understatements of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The US is by contrast an empire declining beneath the weight of its grotesque military budgets and wars, even if it's not sinking as fast as Norway's frigate in NATO's latest war games. Question is, will its handlers take the rest of the world down with it, either by accident or on purpose?

"Hungarian scholar George Szamuely tells Ann Garrison that he sees a 70 percent chance of combat between NATO and Russia following the incident in the Kerch Strait and that it is being fueled by Russiagate."

"There is a striking schizophrenia among NATO members: Russia is, at one and the same time, so weak it's 'doomed' and so strong it's demolishing NATOland. Sounds as if we're the ones who are doomed..."

"NATO's and the US military's desecration of corpses, attacks on wedding parties, mosques, hospitals and market places - along with the bombing of allied troops, torture of prisoners and their notoriously unaccountable drone warfare - are a few of the alliance's more infamous outrages in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen and Somalia...."

"Despite the thrashing around of the NATO disinformation apparat, the imperial heartland has entered 2019 in a state of complete chaos...The old order is dying; the new one cannot be born. If we are not careful we will soon be alive in the time of monsters."
